Book excerpt: Child sexual abuse is not something we have not heard of. In fact, many of us must have encountered it too. It is extremely difficult to acknowledge that sexual abuse of children happens every day in all sections, castes and educational backgrounds of our society. Samira and Kajri- two little girls of 12 and 8 years old belong to different backgrounds, brought up with dissimilar values and live a life that is poles apart from each other. But one thing that connects them is the horrifying experience of childhood sexual abuse. The book shadows the heart wrenching struggle of these innocent girls in comprehending the ghastly episodes which has left them petrified for life. The situation becomes worse when their parents turn their backs to them. Now they both must accept, howsoever reluctantly, their existence as an abused one. The story of Samira and Kajri stirred me and changed the way I thought. Along with the issue, rises a strong voice. By Vijay Kumar Chopra. Editor, Punjab Kesari Group.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does one survive in a home that's become a torture chamber, where your daily ration is fear and trauma? One does not have to subject themselves to dehumanization, but most of the time, putting a stop to it is not so simple an act. Until one can safely separate themselves or escapes, how does one cope with such an unfathomable, trauma-riddled circumstance? This is a memoir of catharsis from dehumanization to the reclamation of the dignity and integrity. It is a disclosure- a confession and reflection if you will- by a mother of five who for thirty years lived with her own terrorist and was subjected to a cycle of physical, intellectual, spiritual and emotional abuse and violence. Through religion and spirituality- she manages to cope and eventually find the path to deliverance and peace of mind and heart. This disclosure is a case study, which puts a face, a mind and heart to the traumatic subjection to intimate partner violence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of the battered woman syndrome defense in the courts is controversial, particularly when women turn to homicide in response to a partner's abuse. Scholars worry that the syndrome has created a standard to which all battered women are compared. This book provides a comprehensive examination of the evolution of the syndrome, its effectiveness in court, and the contributions made by psychologists and legal scholars to aid our understanding of the use of battered woman syndrome evidence in trials of abused women who kill. Of particular interest is the influence of history, gender roles, and stereotypes in the evaluation of defendants who claim to suffer from the syndrome.

Book Synopsis Encyclopedia of Domestic Violence by : Nicky Ali Jackson
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Domestic Violence written by Nicky Ali Jackson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-12-11 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of Domestic Violence is a modern reference from the leading international scholars in domestic violence research. This ground-breaking project has created the first ever publication of an encyclopedia of domestic violence. The primary goal of the Encyclopedia is to provide information on a variety of traditional, as well as breakthrough, issues in this complex phenomenon. The coverage of the Encyclopedia is broad and diverse, encompassing the entire life span from infancy to old age. The entries include the traditional research areas, such as battered women, child abuse and dating violence. However, this Encyclopedia is unique in that it includes many under-studied areas of domestic violence, such as ritual abuse-torture within families, domestic violence against women with disabilities, pseudo-family violence and domestic violence within military families. It is also unique in that it examines cross-cultural perspectives of domestic violence. One of the key special features in this Encyclopedia is the cross-reference section at the end of each entry. This allows the reader the ability to continue their research of a particular topic. This book will be an easy-to-read reference guide on a host of topics, which are alphabetically arranged. Precautions have been taken to ensure that the Encyclopedia is not politically slanted; rather, it is hoped that it will serve as a basic guide to better understanding the myriad issues surrounding this labyrinthine topic. Topics covered include: Victims of Domestic Violence; Theoretical Perspectives and Correlates to Domestic Violence; Cross-Cultural Perspectives and Religious Perspectives; Understudied Areas within Domestic Violence Research; Domestic Violence and the Law; and Child Abuse and Elder Abuse.

Download or read book Anger and Hope written by S. W. Stribling and published by S. W. Stribling. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War was easy. The battle with himself is another story... When Will returns to America after years overseas, he comes with high hopes of reconnecting with his younger brother. But being a disgruntled veteran and a struggling depressive, Will isn’t easy to love. Misunderstood, homeless, and with little reason to live beyond his faithful companion, Maverick, Will must face his past to find peace with his family and himself. But when it comes to family, is love enough? ‘Anger and Hope’ is the second book in the ‘Sin and Zen’ series. It is the Philia love to ‘S&Z’s Eros love, and it deeply explores the ideas of shame, pride, anger, hope, and what home truly means. [Important note: Though 'Anger and Hope' may follow Will beyond 'Sin and Zen', each story is standalone. In fact, the themes and 'nature' of each story definitely stand on their own and are not dependent on each other.]

Book Synopsis Beauty Is Oxygen by : Wesley Vander Lugt
Download or read book Beauty Is Oxygen written by Wesley Vander Lugt and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2024-06-18 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beauty is oxygen because it comes from the lungs of God. Isolating individualism, rank injustice, and everyday monotony threaten to suffocate our souls. But Wesley Vander Lugt shows how beauty can breathe life back into us. Written in a graceful cadence that invites readers to turn these pages slowly, Beauty Is Oxygen weaves together theological reflection, poetry, cultural criticism, and Scripture. Throughout, Vander Lugt shows how beauty can break us out of self-centered malaise, promote healing and hope for our broken world, and reenchant our lives. Beauty is about more than positive feelings or pleasing aesthetics. Beauty is as essential to our souls as oxygen is to our bodies. As readers encounter these traces of divine glory in Vander Lugt’s finely crafted meditations, they will find how Christ will “make all things new.”
Book Synopsis Self-Defence in Criminal Law by : Boaz Sangero
Download or read book Self-Defence in Criminal Law written by Boaz Sangero and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2006-07-24 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book combines a careful philosophical discussion of the rationale justifying self-defence with a detailed discussion of the range of statutory self-defence requirements, as well as discussions of numerous other relevant issues (i.e. putative self-defense, excessive self-defense, earlier guilt and battered women). The book argues that before formulating definitions for each aspect of self-defence (necessity, proportionality, retreat, immediacy, mental element, etc.) it is imperative to determine the proper rationale for self-defence and, only then to derive the appropriate solutions. The first part contains an in-depth discussion of why society allows a justification for acts but does not excuse the actor from criminal liability, and the author critically analyzes current theories (culpability of the aggressor; autonomy of the attacked person; protection of the social-legal order; balancing interests; choice of the lesser evil) and points out the weaknesses of each theory before proposing a new theory to explain the justification of self-defence. The new theory is that for the full justification of self-defence, a balance of interests must be struck between the expected physical injury to the attacked person and the expected physical injury to the aggressor, as well as the relevant abstract factors: the autonomy of the attacked person, the culpability of the aggressor, and the social-legal order. The author demonstrates how ignoring one or more of these factors leads to erroneous results and how the proposed rationale can be applied to develop solutions to the complex questions raised.
Book Synopsis Women's Oral History by : Susan Hodge Armitage
Download or read book Women's Oral History written by Susan Hodge Armitage and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women's Oral History: The "Frontiers" Reader is an essential guide to the practice of gathering and interpreting women's oral accounts of their lives. During the 1970s, whenøwomen's history was just developing, the lack of historical information about women's lives was glaring. Oral history quickly emerged as a vital and necessary tool for documenting the lives and experiences of women, who rarely recorded it for themselves?much less for posterity. Standard models of practicing oral history, however, were inadequate to the job of organizing and interpreting women's lives, and new models that addressed the distinctiveness of the lives of women?in all of their diversity?were needed. As one of the earliest journals devoted to feminist scholarship in the United States, Frontiers: A Journal of Women Studies was in the vanguard of the emerging field of women's oral history when it published its first landmark issue on the subject in 1977. Three subsequent issues exploring the evolving field has secured Frontiers' reputation at the forefront of women's oral history. Women's Oral History includes nineteen essays, each addressing the particularity of women's lives and experience. The collection provides both "how to" interview guides and examples of current research in sections covering basic methodology and rationale; the myriad uses of women's oral history; and discoveries and insights gained from oral history applications. The essays raise thought-provoking questions, glean original insights about the lives of women and the practice of history, and call for women to write and record their own histories.
